Well just hooked up my new RX-V567 (replacing a perfectly good V659) and was looking forward to TruHD and DTS-MA without a million extra wires but running into unstable HDMI. Wondering if anyone has had a similar problem?

Haven't gotten much feedback on this issue. Hoping someone could chime in. I just returned the 1st V657 for a second brand new one. Replaced all hdmi cables with certified ones from monoprice. Bought a new Sony Blu ray (S570) to replace the old panasonic I was using. The only thing that is still "original" to the old setup is my sony XBR4 tv. Yet still, 20 minutes into a blu-ray (or a std DVD) the video and audio drops out for a second (black screen on the tv) and no audio - receiver loses sync and receiver display flashes for a second until the signal is re-synced? It's only for a second, but it will happen every 20 - 30 minutes during a movie, very distracting! Since this is the same problem I had with the 1st RXV657, I have to assume that either 1) the HDMI bus on these receivers are junk or 2) the Yamaha is having issues with my sony TV. The only reason I purchased this receiver is for the DolbyHD and DTS-MA decoding. Any suggestions as to what I should try next - besides returning this second unit? The setup is simple - HDMI from blu ray to receiver to tv. No other HDMI run through receiver. Have replaced all devices (except tv) have switched HDMI port on tv. Have flashed firmware on Yamaha to the latest (18), blu ray also up to date. I guess I could mess with color depth, etc. on each of the devices to see if it helps - but just stabbing in the dark here.

Why have the switched power (AC) outputs been removed from the 367 and 567 models, and probably the rest? In my old Yamaha's (not that old - I have a 559 and an older 520) I liked powering the subwoofer through it. My subwoofer does sense signal presence and power on/off accordingly, but I thought that it was a good feature to use for this.
Happy New Year.

yes it does. As you said, if you are passing audio/video from a device via HDMI, then if will play through your speakers connected to the 567. I assume the in the setup menu that there is an option for HDMI audio: amp, amp+ tv, or tv....make sure "TV" is not selected and you should be fine.

yes, amp is all that is selected. this is # 2 for me. Last night I stayed up until 4am messing with it and thought maybe the first was faulty. I have a xbox 360,dishnet 722 ,and Panasonic blu-ray all work with video, but when I check the info the 567 displays Decoder off. The first had F firmware, and this one has E firmware.??? maybe this will help

Well I now know if I leave my tv off the 567 will decode the audio, but as won't help if I can't see what I'm hearing. So you know, my tv is a Hitachi 51s700 which only has DVI input. So when the tv is on the 567 reads that the input and output video signal is DVI, it should read video signal in HDMI and video signal out DVI. If someone know's of a way to fix this please let me no. Maybe some how with the advanced setup menu?

I have the 467 and it seems to be working fine. If I plug in my TV via HDMI, i get a " this mode is not supported" error message. My set is fairly old, it's an '05 Sammy HLR-6167W and that is a typical message I get when the set receives a 1080P signal as it's capped at 1080i. It only has one HDMI input and that works if I plug in my SCI-ATL or my DVD player to it. I have my DVD player and cable box plugged in via Component with one Coax and one OPT until I can determine where to go from here.

Although this may sound like it belongs in the tv thread, I have placed it here becuase I am aware of my TV shortcomings. I was thinking that the receiver would output at whatever max signal it gets from it's input devices. My cable box is only capable of outputting 1080i and so is my DVD, which the set does display them if I bypass the reciever. Any suggestions?

Ive got at minor issue with my 467:
I can get the sound from my tv to the receiver via HDMI return channel. But once i have use e.g. my blueray player and want to go back to watching TV I will have to re-configure in the HDMI menu to get the sound back. Does someone know a cure for this?

I'm having the same problem with my HTR5063. When the HDMI video signal is going to my monitor via DVI the audio doesn't play if I disconnect or turn off the monitor the audio does play. Setting HDMI audio: amp didn't help.

I received a email from Yamaha support, they suggested turning off the monitor check in the advanced config. I would have tried that,but before I received the email I already returned the unit for a RX-V667.I have no problem now and the on-screen display looks a lot better and more features.

Hey folks,
Just bought a new 567 and have it set up.
Like it very much however one item is driving me crazy.
When I play a DTS or DD soundtrack I only have the cinema dsp light up on the front panel. Both my previous receivers (Sony and Denon) had a DTs or a DD logo which would identify what was being decoded.
I have many movies which have dual soundtracks so this is something I like to check on the receiver.
Does the 567 do this? I know you can check on the on screen display however this is annoying that I would have to use the remote to see.
Thanks in advance!

[quote=anders79;19666010]I have an RX-V567. Couple of weeks old. The display on power up says for a brief second "decoder Off" - and the Sur Decode button on the remote no longer cycles thru option - either displays dolby digital or Standard; no other options. any ideas? Was working fine previously (amyeb i locked it somehow)?

this is what mine is doing too!
I know everyone will say..."you want it to say straight" but just like you for 2 weeks i could watch movies and switch between straight or any of the "sur decoders" and few weeks later....same movies... it is locked on straight!

if it was like that from the start...then no big deal. BUT i was able to switch between modes and now i cant!
